Commencement

Rev. Aaron Payson

Yesterday she played "kitty on a stick" on my out-stretched arm

As her brother and she snuggled in bed and wrestled me awake at dawn.

Today I gaze upon a woman in burgundy gown and cap with dancing tassels

As she strides swiftly toward her diploma and congratulating hands.

Yesterday I ran behind her, training-wheel free, as she wobbled down the sidewalk.

Then her only worry was whether we could find pink tassels for the handle-bars.

Today she begins a new adventure and I celebrate the journey of growth from

That sidewalk and bike to this stage and her diploma.

I miss the little girl even as I joyfully, proudly, embrace the woman standing before me.
